Daniel Cozort retired from Dickinson College (Pennsylvania) in 2021 after thirty-six years of college teaching. At Dickinson, he offered courses in Buddhism and Hinduism and at times taught about mind-body medicine, romantic love, methods for the study of religion, religion and human evolution, and British culture and society. He directed study abroad programs in south India and Norwich, England.

His work with Jeffrey Hopkins at the University of Virginia led to three books (Highest Yoga Tantra, Unique Tenets of the Middle Way Consequence School, and Buddhist Philosophy). He was one of the translators of Tsongkhapa’s Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path and participated in the UMA translation project. He published a booklet and produced a film on the Vajrabhairava sand mandala; organized an exhibition of tantric art, writing its catalogue; and wrote chapters on Buddhist ethics for several books. In 2006, he became editor of the Journal of Buddhist Ethics, holding that position until 2019 and continuing as its technical editor. In 2018 he edited the Oxford Handbook of Buddhist Ethics. He also founded a conference on Buddhist ethics that meets biennially. He was a founder of a Unitarian Universalist congregation and a Buddhist meditation center now led by a Sri Lankan monk.

Cozort lives with his wife in Ithaca, New York, and gives occasional tours of Namgyal Monastery.
